Good evening...

[L'burg-NAACP]

Driving while black.. police brutality.. they are issues that have been getting high profile treatment across the country recently.
Minority leaders in Lynchburg say part of the problem is blacks don't know how to properly interact with police.

Morris' complaint of police brutality is still being investigated, but his situation is one black leaders would like to prevent from happening again.
So the local N-double-A-C-P sat down with Lynchburg police to discuss how minorities should act when police stop them on the street, pull over their car or knock on their door.
[Standup ]
((Those tips.. like remaining calm, answering all the officer's questions and avoiding a confrontation.. will be printed up in a pamphlet the local N-double-A-C-P will start distributing in the next couple of months.
